  • Catalpa (Catalpa bignonioides)
  • Jacaranda (Jacaranda filicifolia)
  • Mangrove (Avicennia marina)
  • Empress tree (Paulownia tomentosa)

 

• All new trees support mycelium, some can leak resin or can be used to make tannin
• Some tree types have a generation variant with two blocks thick trunk, while others can spawn with trunks less than a block thick
  
  • Chopping down a thin tree will give you narrow logs that can be turned into firewood or a proportional amount of boards
  • A couple of thin tree types are mainly decorative: they lack regular-sized counterparts and don't have their own wood type, so their logs can be used only for firewood
    
    

• Three special, highly decorative wood types:
  • Charred wood, which is created artificially by heating certain softwoods over a firepit; logs, debarked logs, support beams and boards must be prepared separately
  • Petrified wood, which can only be found underground in dry climates and is non-renewable
  • Chlorociboria-dyed wood, which can be found in nature and limitedly propagated
    
    

• Breaking through the foliage of some trees will drop leaves or flexible canes 
  
  • Most leaves can serve as a low-nutrition food if you are starving; oak leaves can be soaked to make tannins, while walnut leaves turn into persistent black dye
  • Dried leaves can be used as fuel or ground into mulch, a poor quality but very affordable fertilizer
  • Canes also can be burned, used to weave both stationary and handheld baskets, including a special one suited for foraging, and typed, colourful wattle fences that support daub mechanic
    
    

• Stumps of all the regular-sized tree types now generate in the world according to where these tree types are usually found
  
  • These can be picked up and placed as is, or converted into regular logs
  • Some types of stumps can be used for chlorociboria fungus propagation to produce more chlorociboria-dyed wood

• Spurge trees leak latex that also can be used for poultices (will become a pitch glue alternative in the future, hopefully...)
• Mangrove trees excrete salt in small amounts
• Updated willow seed model to be less recognizeable but more botanically accurate (old model was technically a flower not a seed)

• Hopefully resolved a notification caused by storagetypes patch not having "side: server" specifications in it
• Added Carry On compatibility (for wattle baskets)
• Added polish translation (thanks to Veir)

   1.0.0:

• All fruit trees migrated to the Fruit module according to the Wildcraft grand split plan
• All blocks and items were relocated into "wildcraftree" directory, thus now they all are marked with mod's id for easy search: this procedure also reduced the amount of patches and made the whole thing more manageable

• Added 40 regular stump variants, plus a variant infected with clorociboria fungus

• Polished visuals of canes, wattle fences and baskets
• Polished visuals for tree seeds in inventory, in player's hand, on the ground and on shelves
• Updated and massively rebalanced spawning conditions and weights for all old and new trees to prevent them from outcrowding vanilla trees
• Polished, adjusted or entirely remade treegens for most tree types to better represent real life counterparts
• Added two entirely new forest assemblages that occupy previously vacant or nearly vacant regions: spruce-cedar forests with alder, birch and willow undergrowth for cold-to-temperate humid areas and sycamore-catalpa-kauri forests with mixed in blue mahoe and sourwood for warm-to-subtropical humid areas
• Rebalanced crafting recipes for wattle fence and wattle and daub blocks
• Rebalanced the burning duration of logs of most tree types
• Rebalanced sapling growth time
• Fixed the absence of certain crafting recipes and/or wood-typed variants
• Fixed sycamores dropping grown log blocks instead of placed ones
• Palissandre wood is now obtained from jacaranda trees, not catalpas
• Furniture traders now sell sleek doors of all new wood types
• Merged black and pyramidal poplars into one wood type for simplicity and because of some worldproperties blocktype limitations; pyramidal poplars are now represented by a rare treegen variant
• General updates and fixes of english and russian language files

Spoiler!

• SPONTANEOUS DEFOLIATION: any new tree that is generated with grown leaves blocks, when in a loaded area, can randomly start losing leaves because of leaf decay behaviour going haywire, approximately one leaf block per second, as if the log blocks were removed
  • The process can start chain reactions that render whole forests bare
  • Until we figure out how to fix the issue, a temporal solution is applied: trees generate with placed leaves, but don't worry, they still can be chopped down normally

Spoiler!

• Making spurge latex into latex glue that will take longer to cool down/solidify
• Making some tree seeds rotate when falling similar to maple seeds
